Questions on modding for '08 Type-S
Hey guys,
I have a couple questions regarding my TL, there's a lot but I would really appreciate if you guys took some time to answer them. Thanks.
- If i plan on lowering my TL with tien s tech lowering springs, will i still be able to put on Brembo caliper covers on front and rear?
- Is it better to paint my calipers myself or go with the Brembo brake covers? I heard that the break covers could screw up your breaks some how, so I don't really know what to do there.
- What are the widest tires you can put on the TL if its lowered about an 1 inch or 1 inch 1/2?
- Does anyone have a link where i can purchase halo or angel eye headlights? I'm also wanting to get LEDs for the lights on my lip. Also, what do i need to do to get rid of the orange on my headlights (turn signals) ?
- What is the best way to black out the chrome my grill and the chrome strips on the lip?
- Does anyone have a link where I can buy an A-Spec kit? Preferably one thats already painted black.
- Does an A-spec kit come with window visors and rear window visor? If not where can I purchase them?
Yes, I'm new to all this

- Is it better to paint my calipers myself or go with the Brembo brake covers? I heard that the break covers could screw up your breaks some how, so I don't really know what to do there. IMO, I would go with the covers, they look pretty decent as far as looking like the real thing. Brake covers will not screw with your brakes, they're just covers.
- Does anyone have a link where i can purchase halo or angel eye headlights? I'm also wanting to get LEDs for the lights on my lip. Also, what do i need to do to get rid of the orange on my headlights (turn signals) For the headlights, ebay has them. check out vleds.com and ijdmtoy.com for leds and changing your markers lights. those two websites are common with Aziners.
- What is the best way to black out the chrome my grill and the chrome strips on the lip? Either have it color matched at a shop or paint it yourself. sand paper, primer/paint/clear coat.

Caliper covers are like a big steaming bowl of Uncle Ben's. Besides, they just hold in heat and make the caliper run hotter, and the rear calipers on these cars already suck and are prone to sticking slides. You already have the real deal on the front, and yes, it does suck Acura didn't do Brembos all around, but save the covers for the ricers. Painting the rears is a better option.

you can make anything fit with enough work. Just an example, you can be lowered and have tires 305mm wide if you have a widebody kit. that's on the extreme side, but its just an example. all depends on what fender work you want to do, and the specs of your wheels
